Reporting a Change in Provider Status

Providers are responsible for notifying Medicaid when information related to their business or practice changes. How a change is reported to Medicaid depends on the type of change that is being reported.

  • All forms must be signed by the individual provider or, for a group, the authorized agent.
  • Changes submitted using the Medicaid Provider Change Form may be submitted by mail or fax.
  • Changes that require the submittal of a new Provider Enrollment Packet, Enrollment Addendum, or new Provider Participation Agreement must be submitted by mail because an original signature is required.
